Leng Wang spoils his wife: the prince's wife is strictly controlled

Chapter 174 The So-Called Draft
In the early morning of the next day, Ruan Xiyue was summoned to go to the palace early. At this time, many wives and ladies gathered in Fengyi Hall. They waited for about half an hour before they saw the late empress.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time." After saying that, the queen walked in slowly, wearing a golden Phoenix dress that was particularly eye-catching. The exquisite totems and fine silk threads on it were all highlights.She walked in front of everyone with her three-inch golden lotus, her dignified demeanor could only be described as gentle and noble.

Ruan Xiyue watched this scene quietly, and did not affect her emotions at all because the empress was so powerful, she just saluted with the wives and ladies, and then sat on the chair upright.

"The empress asked all of us to come here today, but what's the matter?" One of the wives couldn't help asking.

The queen said softly: "The three-yearly draft is about to start again. I am really powerless to deal with these facts. I don't know if there are any suitable candidates for my wife, so I can advance one or two for this palace." ?”

"So it's because of the draft?" As she said that, the lady couldn't help but smile and replied: "My nephew's family happens to have a girl who is just grown up, she is 17 years old, she is gentle and dignified, and my concubine will definitely bring her to meet her someday. Empress Empress."

The queen nodded in satisfaction, and then said with a headache on her face, "By the way, is there anyone you can recommend for the other ladies, so you can help me?" He glanced at Ruan Xiyue.

After meeting the Queen's eyes, Ruan Xiyue bowed slightly, and opened her lips gently: "Mother, my daughter-in-law has rarely had contact with outsiders since she was a child, and I really don't know who is suitable to make my mother and all the ladies laugh at me. gone."

Seeing Ruan Xiyue's expression, all the wives and ladies looked at each other. It seems that the rumor that Princess Yu and the Queen are not getting along is true?After thinking of this, someone came out and said haha: "That's right, Princess Yu has been seriously ill since she was a child, and was sent out to the mansion by Marquis Dingnan to be raised by an expert. How can she know anyone from outside?"

"What Mrs. Ning said, I'm not an unreasonable person, how can I not understand this?" After speaking, the queen gave Ruan Xiyue a deep look.

Madam Ning?Ruan Xiyue looked at the lady who was speaking, and it turned out that she was Lord Ning's eldest wife and Ning Xi's mother.After thinking of this, he smiled at Mrs. Ning, thanking her for speaking for him just now.

"The empress is joking, and the concubine is just saying it casually. Presumably the empress understands the righteousness, and she will definitely understand what the concubine means." After speaking, she suppressed her expression and could not see her What's on your mind.

Sure enough, the queen fell silent immediately because of this sentence, and after taking a deep look at Ruan Xiyue, she said slowly: "It's just that this draft is a big event, and the wives of every family have to recommend one or two. Among them, this is a matter of serving the emperor, can you not agree to Princess Yu?"

Ruan Xiyue knew that she would use the name of the emperor to suppress herself, so she smiled immediately, and said softly in a deep voice: "Since the mother has already said it, then the daughter-in-law will definitely help."

"It's so good. After seven days, it will be a good day for a beautiful woman to enter the palace. You should pay more attention, otherwise, when the time comes to the emperor, it will be difficult for the palace, and it will be difficult for you, isn't it?"

"The empress is wise." The ladies and wives had no choice but to obey her, she is the empress, who would dare to offend her?
Ruan Xiyue looked gentle and did not speak, but just looked at the scene with a faint look, because she knew that the queen was targeting her, how could she miss any opportunity to satirize herself?
After coming out of the Hall of Fengyi, Ruan Xiyue took a walk with Mrs. Ning to enjoy the flowers. Mrs. Ning seemed to like Ruan Xiyue's appearance very much, so she said leisurely: "I think your mother and I were good sisters back then. Now You will look more like your mother when you grow up."

"Madam Ning knows?" She didn't expect her to know her identity.

I only heard Mrs. Ning say: "You had a mole on your ear when you were young, so I knew it was yours based on this mole." As she spoke, she showed a gentle expression.

In her memory, Ruan Xiyue didn't think Mrs. Ning was a good person, but for some reason, now she felt that she was not bad, and she had repeatedly spoken for herself in front of the queen, and suddenly she couldn't figure out what was going on in her heart .

"I see. My father often said that my mother and I look too much alike. I didn't expect you, Madam Ning, to say the same thing." After speaking, he smiled slightly.

Seeing Ruan Xiyue's smile, Mrs. Ning joked: "At that time your mother said that if you were a son, my daughter could marry your family. Now that she has grown up, you haven't married our family Ningxi yet. Have you met? You used to play together when you were young."

Originally, Ruan Xiyue didn't want to say anything, but Mrs. Ning's words reached this level, could she still refuse?After returning here first, he showed a gentle smile: "When the draft is over, I will go to the mansion in person to get together with Ning Xi."

In Ruan Xiyue's memory, she and Ning Xi were indeed friends when they were young, but now things are different, and many things can't go back to when they were young.

After returning to the palace, Ruan Xiyue might be a little tired, so she was taking a nap, but she heard servants outside talking about something, and out of curiosity, she walked slowly to the window, wanting to listen to relieve her boredom.

"Do you think the princess will really kick out the third lady? I heard that our princess is the miss of the Ruan family! It's just that I dare not admit it because of my current status."

Someone asked in amazement: "My God, is this true? I can't believe my ears. Is our princess really the former second lady? But isn't she Princess Xiangning of Liang Kingdom?"

"Who knows, with the right in hand, she can be whatever she wants, isn't it?" After speaking, several people bowed their heads and began to discuss.

"If the emperor knows about this, you say..." As he spoke, his voice became even softer, and he didn't know what he was plotting.

When Ruan Xiyue heard these words, she just thought it was a little funny, so she collected her expression and said softly: "I didn't expect that I was kind to them, but they would be cruel to me. If this is the case, don't blame me for being inhumane." .”

At dinner time, Ruan Xiyue and Gu Yuxian were sitting in the yard, seeing Ruan Mingjin's restrained appearance, they glanced lightly and didn't say much.

Ruan Mingjin said timidly: "My lord, sister, do you have something to say to Jin'er today?"

"Ask if you know?" Ruan Xiyue uttered a word tepidly, with a calm expression, not knowing what she was thinking.

Ruan Mingjin said softly, "Sister, if Jin'er has done something wrong, sister, you should say so."

"My concubine doesn't want to waste my tongue on what to say, just keep to myself, the rules in this palace are in the hands of my concubine, understand?" She said calmly.

After hearing the words, she hummed softly, nodded in response, and said with a low eyebrow, "Jin'er understands, thank you for your teaching." On the surface she was weak and weak, but in her heart she was thinking, waiting One day she will definitely come out, and then how can Ruan Xiyue, who is just a mere woman, be taken into account?

Although Ruan Xiyue really doesn't know what is going on in her heart now, she can still see some sinister calculations in Ruan Mingjin's eyes, and she immediately turned serious, and said softly: "Don't worry, as long as you can be safe Do what you should do, and I will never make things difficult for you."

After hearing this sentence, Ruan Mingjin nodded in response, and said with a gentle face: "Jiner understands, thank you for your teaching."

"Okay, let's have dinner!" Gu Yuxian didn't give her a second look, because no matter what beauty she is, Ruan Xiyue will always be the only one in Gu Yuxian's eyes.

After the two looked at each other, Ruan Xiyue showed a smile and said softly: "Ah Lian, you have been busy with government affairs recently, so I asked the dining room to make some pigeon soup for you, try it how?"

"Well, it tastes good..." After speaking, he showed a satisfied expression.

Seeing the scene of the two loving each other so much, Ruan Mingjin felt very uncomfortable, but she knew that she was not qualified to say anything, the only way was to stay by Gu Yuxian's side, win over Gu Yuxian, and let him Don't be disappointed in yourself.

"I didn't expect my sister and the prince to have such a good relationship. People who don't know would think that my sister and the prince have known each other in the previous life." She made a joke casually.

When Ruan Xiyue heard the joke, she moved her hand holding the chopsticks slightly, and something seemed to flash in her eyes, and she said in a deep groan, "Maybe, when we first met in the palace, I gave it to you as a gift. The prince's jade pendant may have been predestined by the heavens since then, but I never thought that we would be together after all these years."

Jade pendant?There was a flash of worry in Gu Yuxian's eyes, if one day Yue'er knew that the person she was looking for was not herself, would she still think so in her heart?

"So that's how it is. My sister and the prince have known each other for many years. No wonder my sister wants to marry the prince despite my father's objection. It's really enviable." She said with a smile.

Ruan Xiyue didn't care whether she was telling the truth or a lie, she immediately curled her lips into a smile: "My sister was joking, for me and the prince, this is indeed a very good memory, isn't it?" Look at the people around you.
